LOCATE Command

The LOCATE command locates a SYSOUT group, report, or job in the selection list. Enter this command on the command line of any selection list as follows:

LOCATE id

Syntax

where id specifies the ID or partial ID of the SYSOUT group, report, or job.

Rules

These rules apply to the LOCATE command:

• You can abbreviate the LOCATE command as LOC or L.
• If the Report-Id contains quotes, you must enclose it in single quotes. Any single quote in Report-id must be entered as a pair of single quotes because a non-paired single quote will end the ID. For example, if the value is JIM’S REPORT it must be entered as ‘JIM’’S REPORT’.
• You can use a partial operand. With a partial operand, the first ID is located that matches the operand, regardless of the other characters in the ID.
• If the specified ID is not in the list, the SYSOUT group, report, or job that immediately precedes the specified ID is displayed at the top of the screen.

Example 1

To locate the ID Z27XY01, enter this value on the command line:

locate z27xy01

Example 2

To locate the first output selection with an ID that begins with W, enter this value on the command line:

l w
